On November 14, 15, and 16,
at 8:00 p.m., Salem’s Pierrettes
will present three one-act plays
in the Drama Workshop. Cindy
Logan will direct Overruled by
George Bernard Shaw, Margie
Swiger will direct Gas Heart by
Tsara, and Chamber Music by
Arthur Kopit will be directed by
Boykin Exum.
Eight women in an insane asy
lum compose the list of char
acters in Chamber Music, a para
doxical play. Believing them
selves to be famous women such
as Joan of Arc, they are meeting
as a grievance committee for
the asylum. Gas Heart has no
absolute, conventional plot as it
is an example of Dadaism, anti
art. There are two couples in the
light comedy Overruled. All four
characters have been on individ
ual vacations, and the play re
counts their reunion and the fun
ny situations they have encoun
tered.
Salem students may pick up
their free tickets in the Refectory
from Thursday, November 8, un
til Friday, November 16. Guests
may purchase tickets also: one
dollar for adults and fifty cents
for students. Everyone is urged
to attend one of the perform
ances, not only for the pure en
joyment, but also for the advan
tage of seeing some fine acting
here at Salem.

Plans for Salem College’s 1974
Spring Symposium, which will be
on April 10 and 11, are now well
under way. The symposium will
center around the topic of bio
ethics and medical ethics. The
concern for a need for an ongoing
study of ethical questions raised
by the scientific revolution will be
discussed.
Salem will be getting speakers
from the Institute of Society,
Ethics, and the Life Sciences, in
Hastings, New York. This insti
tute is devoted to exploring ethi
cal concerns in the field of death
and dying (such as, the question
of mercy killing and the definition
SALFIVi COLLEGE
of exactly when a body is
“dead”), the field of behavior
control (which may be viewed as
manipulating the lives of a large
group of people by a small
group), the field of population
control (where such ethical ques
tions as the right to perform
abortions may be raised), and
the field of genetic counseling and
engineering (where today the
Brave New World forecast of test
tube babies is not entirely an
unrealistic prediction).
The Symposium should prove to
be an exciting and informative
two days, where the need for
ethical checks on science and
technology will be considered.

NCSA to Present
Nutcracker Suite
The eighth annual production
of The Nutcracker Suite will be
presented at Reynolds Auditorium
on the following dates: Friday,
December 7, at 8 p.m.; Satur
day, December 8, at 2 p.m. and
8 p.m.; Sunday, December 9 at
2 p.m. It will be presented by the
North Carolina School of the Arts
dance department (Robert Lyn-
gren, director) and the Winston-
Salem Symphony (John luele,
conductor).
The Nutcracker Suite is a fav
orite Christmas ballet set to music
by the Russian Composer, Tchai
kovsky. The story involves a little
girl who receives a nutcracker at
a Christmas party given by her
parents. The gift is in the shape
of a toy soldier. After the party
is over and the guests have bade
their hosts farewell, the child
goes to the living room to find
her special toy. She falls asleep
and in her dreams, the nut
cracker comes to life. It takes
the child to magic worlds of de
light: to the snow country, where
snow flakes dance for her; to the
Kingdom of Candy, where a cele
bration is held in her honor at
the Palace of Sweets; and to
many other delightful realms of
a child’s imagination. These and
the other voyages are imagina
tively described through the ex
citing music, the extraordinary
dance performance by the NCSA
dancers, and the elaborate stage
design which always accompanies
The Nutcracker Suite.
All seats to this performance
are reserved: the ticket sale be
